Since the start of the first air services, the City of Miami has always been an important destination. Dinner Key, located in Miami’s historic waterfront village of Coconut Grove, was the site of the original “Gateway to Latin America.”

Passengers boarded Pan Am Flying Clipper seaplanes at the Pan Am terminal that still stands today serving as Miami City Hall. Steps away, Regatta Harbour. a new retail complex. is nearing completion and encompasses two historic seaplane hangers.

Airlines of Miami Gallery

We hope to share the history of other iconic airlines that shaped Miami’s identity as an international destination.

Pan Am, Eastern, and National Airlines all played important roles in connecting Miami to points in the US, Europe, and Latin America.

The Airlines of Miami Gallery at Regatta Harbour will allow visitors to connect with Miami’s captivating commercial aviation story.

Later phases of the exhibit will illustrate Miami’s metamorphosis into the global gateway of the Americas for both passenger and cargo airlines.
